The International hacker group Anonymous threatened to launch a crusade against Israel's government on Thursday.

The group released a video on YouTube overnight accusing Israel of "crimes against humanity", amid an escalating Internet war between Israeli and Arab hackers.

In the video, which some have called pretentious and melodramatic, Anonymous accuses Israel of bettering "the lives of a select few, while carelessly trampling the liberties of the masses."

The video contained hackneyed anti-religious, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israeli propaganda including insinuations that the Jewish state controls the world, having a "grip on humanity."

Comment: Keep in mind that the following article was originally posted on religious, Zionist and Israeli propaganda site .

"Your Zionist bigotry has displaced and killed a great many. As the world weeps you laugh while planning your next attack," the video states.

"You label all who refuse to comply with your superstitious demands as anti-Semitic and have taken steps to ensure a nuclear holocaust...your are [sic] unworthy to exist in your current form and will therefore face the wrath of Anonymous...."

Anonymous also makes it clear it is bent on defending Iran saying, "...we will not allow you to attack a sovereign country based upon a campaign of lies."

The group then vowed to stop Israel's "reign of terror" through a staged cyber-insurgency.

"Step one will be initiated after the release of this video and will be comprised of systematically removing you from the internet," the group claimed.

"Step two will be later disclosed and is already in initiation; and, as for step three, well, think of this one as a present from Anonymous to you - we will not stop until the police state becomes a free state. We are Anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget. Israeli government expect us," it warned.

Anonymous, a loosely organized international group of hackers who "seek anarchy through disrupting government and law enforcement networks," has largely followed populist trends rather than coherent principles.

The group previously threatened to shut down the Knesset website in last June, but failed.

Israel is widely considered one of the world's leading cyber-powers and has established a cyber-defense command.

If they really wanted to 'hurt' Israel, they would attack sources of it's funding, not make political gestures, such as trying to shut down the Knesset website Also,targetting areas that operate 'by deception'.

I mean, wouldn't it be somewhat embarrasing if all the details of Israel's nuclear arsenal, and all its details of black ops against non Israelis in foreign countries got made public. They might be a bit cross about that.

This meanless crap would make more people symathetic to Israel than hurt it.
Makes you think it is just another false flag org. Second case of doing nothing significant, or even hurting the cause of freedom and liberty. Starting to think this Anonymous is another Al-CIAda, or next incarnation of weakileaks [no real secrets revealed after all, just stuff they wanted out there].

Anonymous always has such well made videos. Downright professional. It sounds just like what the Zionist's need to bolster a little of their flagging support, or failed propaganda, depending how you look at it. The first thing that came into my mind was that this would provide tremendous support for all those draconian anti-copyright infringement laws being passed or considered seemingly everywhere. Come to think of it. They might even be able to go after anonymous for those Guy Fawkes masks or something equally ridiculous. Either way, they want the power to shut down any website, anywhere, and reason will always be touted as copyright violations, and never a call from Obama or Netanyahoo or whoever. They want a law which gives them something they can hide behind. They won't even have to talk about politics. Only copyright infringement...

Not sure why the CIA (aka Anonymous) are putting out these videos but I can only assume drones may start hitting houses in the Arab world with the reason based on links to international internet terror through IP address locations. If this is the case then the new arrest laws in the US could also see internet political activists being locked up without trial. The problem is that IP addresses can be cloned so evidence would not be admissible in court, but then the new laws in the US do require courts anymore!
